Covid vaccine passport scam

/in News/by Adam Bernstein

The police are warning of a Covid vaccine passport scam email that is going around that purports to be from the NHS and informs recipients that they can apply for their “Digital Coronavirus Passports”

Clicking on the link within the email, leads to a convincing but fake NHS website that asks for personal and payment details – and an admin fee.

The website has since been taken down, but  similar emails and websites may be appear. Please be vigilant.

To reiterate, an individual’s vaccination status can be obtained free through the NHS App, website or by calling the NHS on 119.
